We are 3Ls - back in school and bitter as ever. While we all will be practicing in different areas after we graduate, one common bond unites us: we can't wait to be done. We come here to bitch and not do much else. So if you're looking for deep thoughts or insightful political commentary, find a different blog to read.

Fanmail

A recent email:"I'm a 1.5L, or something like that, at an overpriced school in the midwest, the kind of 25K per year school that the US NEWS AND WORLD REPORT pisses on during their yearly rankings. Instead of preparing for summer classes in Evid, Pro. Res., and some lame seminar, I thought I would search for underaged Thai porn and somehow, this linked to your blog. It is in my favorites, and made me laugh out loud. Thanks for sharing this with all of your other fellow law students."

A few thoughts about above fanmail:Reasonable Peep: "Underage Thai porn? Hmm...what is the connection? "

Roberts: "Underaged Thai porn? Obviously we are doing something VERY wrong. It's my hope that we can turn the blog around and only have the blog pop up as a result for classy searches, like double amputee midget stocking fetishist "art" films."

Larceny: "Can I just say how proud I was to read that we are a search result for Underaged Thai porn? I think a tear went to my eye. That being said, I still have the nylon porn (fuckin' Sandra and Peep) so he's not totally off."

Calculating: "Hmmm, I wonder what he was looking for. Well, I'm glad he found us. The fact that he's even sober enough to send us an email, despite being in law school during the summer, means that he obviously needs our help."

We Came. We Were Snarky. We Disbanned.

The short story: we blogged pretty voraciously while in law school until halfway through our 3L year when law school drama interceded. We abruptly shut down, fearing exposure that would impact our full-time employment options.

Sometimes, there is, unfortunately, no humor in law school or the legal profession.

That was years ago. Since then, we're all gainfully employed. Of the LawBitches, one is a partner and two others are associates in small firms, two are solo practitioners, one works for the government, one is an in-house counsel, one work in non-traditional job in corporate America, and two are also adjunct professors at a law school.

The point is: we all survived. But if you ask us if we're happy? Or if we'd do it over again? Well, you'd get differing responses.

The bottom line: Before you decide to go to law school, be aware -- be very aware -- of what you are getting yourself into.
